Dentures.
Comfortable support for a confident smile.
Missing several or all of your teeth can affect the way you eat, speak and feel about your smile.
Dentures provide a removable way to replace missing teeth and restore everyday function. At Claremont Dental, we'll take the time to understand your needs and help you find an option that feels comfortable, practical and right for you.
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues they would normally support.
They can be used to replace several missing teeth or, where appropriate, a complete set of teeth. Modern dentures are designed to look natural while helping restore everyday functions such as eating and speaking.
Are they right for you?
Dentures may be suitable if you're missing several teeth or need to replace all of your teeth.
The right option depends on the number and condition of your remaining teeth, your gums, your bite and what you want to achieve.
We'll assess your individual circumstances and explain the options available before recommending a treatment.
Our approach
Finding the right balance of comfort and function.
We understand that replacing missing teeth is about more than simply filling the gaps.
Your dentures need to feel comfortable, function well and fit naturally into your everyday life.
We'll take the time to understand what matters to you, explain your options clearly and carefully plan your dentures around your individual needs.
Thoughtful treatment starts with understanding how you want your teeth to work for you.
What to expect
We'll begin with an assessment of your teeth, gums and overall oral health and discuss what you'd like your dentures to achieve.
If dentures are appropriate, we'll take the necessary measurements and impressions to create a personalised fit.
Once your dentures are ready, we'll make sure they fit comfortably and securely and explain how to wear, clean and care for them.
We'll also discuss ongoing care and let you know if adjustments or future replacement may be required.
Your questions answered
Will dentures look natural?
Modern dentures can be designed to look natural and complement your existing facial features. We'll consider the appearance, shape and colour when planning your dentures.
Will I be able to eat normally with dentures?
Dentures can help restore your ability to eat, although it can take some time to become accustomed to wearing them. We'll make sure your dentures are fitted appropriately and explain what to expect.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures can provide many years of use, although they may eventually need adjustment or replacement as your mouth and surrounding tissues change.
Can I replace just some of my missing teeth?
Yes. Partial dentures can be used to replace several missing teeth while retaining suitable natural teeth. We'll assess your individual situation to determine whether this is an appropriate option.
Health funds

Your level of cover will depend on your individual policy, so we recommend checking your available benefits before treatment.
